Apple TV+ Raises Price to $9.99 Per Month
By Movieguide® Contributor
Apple is raising the cost of its Apple TV+ streaming platform from $6.99 per month to $9.99 per month.
This change comes amidst a flurry of price increases across a variety of Apple’s services, including Apple Arcade, Apple News+ and Apple One.
“[Apple remains] focused on delivering the best experiences possible for our customers by consistently adding high-quality entertainment, content, and innovative features to our services,” the company said, noting that the price changes will go into effect next month.
This serves as Apple TV+’s second price increase since it launched at the end of 2019. The price was changed from $4.99 per month to $6.99 just under a year ago.
Even with a $9.99 per month price tag, Apple TV+ remains one of the least expensive options when it comes to streaming platforms, especially given its ad-free experience. In comparison, a standard Netflix account costs $15.49 per month, while a standard Disney+ subscription runs at $13.99 per month.
In its four years since launching, Apple TV+ has landed some major hits such as TED LASSO, THE MORNING SHOW and SEVERANCE. It also streams the 2022 Oscar Best Picture-winner CODA, which is an Apple TV+ exclusive.
The service also provides subscribers access to live sports through MLB Friday Night Baseball and full access to Major League Soccer.
“Since launching four years ago, Apple TV+ has made history for streaming services by crossing major milestones in a short span of time, thanks to its extensive selection of award-winning and broadly acclaimed series, feature films, documentaries, and kids and family entertainment,” Apple said.
